Subjects are grouped into five colleges: the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Natural and Computational Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the College of Extended and Interdisciplinary Education and the College of Health and Society.

The HPU-HUST collaboration started in 2019 with a plan for a study-tour from HUST to HPU, but the plan was interrupted by COVID-19.
